​

MADELINE MCKENNEY

Domestic Engineer, Volunteer

Madeline, a mother of two girls, is a housewife who volunteers at the local community theater.  Madeline’s husband is a website designer for big corporations. They have done well thus far and live in a huge home overlooking the lake.

Madeline is known as a gossip, so be careful about what secrets you share with her.

Madeline is the president of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Christmas Hollow High, and she volunteers at the local dog shelter in her spare time.  A dance, cheer, and softball mom - she hardly has time for herself. However, she makes time to chat with friends all over town.

Madeline isn't the most warm or friendly soul in the neighborhood. She is contemplating whether or not she wants to file a lawsuit after a neighbor's palm tree damaged the roof of her pagoda. She also doesn't make friends by leaving people off the invite list to exclusive dinner parties at her home. 

 Suggested attire: trendy casual Christmas attire, such as a fitted suit with a Christmas theme or a fashionable Christmas sweater (aka an ugly sweater). You are bold, bright, and not afraid to take risks with fashion.

​

JON SLEET

President, North Industries

Jon Sleet is the president of North Industries, a multinational conglomerate headquartered in Christmas Hollow. Its diversified business includes iron and steel, gaming, and custom luxury furniture.

Jon is currently acquiring many other companies. Some people are thrilled about it, and others are not. Business is business, he says. 

Jon is one of the more controversial figures in Christmas Hollow. A former high school bully, he does what he wants and doesn't think twice about it. Jon is bluntly honest without apology. Danny Targaron is Jon's adoptive sibling, and Jon is Walter Heidelberg's nephew and J.R. Pritchett's second cousin. The family relationship hasn't stopped Jon from taking over the company for which his uncle works. The question is—will Uncle Walt receive special treatment with Jon as his ultimate boss?

  Suggested attire: fun Christmas suit. You are a CEO, but you love to have fun and be in the Christmas spirit.

​

JOYCE BRIERS

Retail Clerk, CBC Pharmacy

A single mother of two boys, Joyce works as a retail clerk at a local pharmacy in Christmas Hollow. Joyce is obsessed with Christmas lights and always has the best-lit house in the neighborhood. Many of her neighbors seem to be jealous of her decor and have called the police on a few occasions due to the excessive lighting at night. Joyce doesn't allow the negativity to dampen her Christmas spirit.

Being a mother of two and struggling financially, Joyce is often stressed out and sometimes allows her foul moods to get in the way of her work. Some say shopping at the CBC Pharmacy isn't pleasant because of Joyce's attitude. 

Joyce is actively seeking a better-paying position but hasn't been lucky to date. She doesn't know if she isn't interviewing well or maybe - people are spreading dreadful rumors about her.  She has recently resorted to bribery to acquire a coveted position, but this isn't working thus far. She has spent nearly all of her savings on lavish gifts for a potential employer who has already told her no. 

 Suggested Attire: a lab coat with a Santa hat.  Or, make it festive and wear a Christmas suit or fun ugly Christmas sweater. 

​

DON DRAPIER

Creative Director, Sterlong & Coop

A prior fur salesman before it was considered taboo, Don Drapier has hustled his way into a top advertising agency, Sterlong & Coop, as the creative director. He is the best at pitching ideas to clients and one day hopes to become a partner.

Don has had recent troubles at work, including losing one of the top clients. Will Don overcome the obstacles, or will Sterlong & Coop fly the coop? Is Don seeking employment elsewhere? If so, let's hope he doesn't go back to being a fur salesman. 

Don mandates what his employees will do in their free time. This doesn't make him easy to work for, and this could prevent him from advancing in his career one day. 

    Suggested attire: Christmas suit or ugly Christmas sweater. You are professional but Christmas-spirited - even with the turmoil in your life. 

​

MICHONNE GRIMES

Public Defense Lawyer

Michonne Grimes is a public defense lawyer for the city of Christmas Hollow. She has worked on many high-profile cases but always seems to lose to the prosecutors. In addition, Michonne is a national fencing champion and Olympic hopeful.

Michonne is mysterious, and nobody knows why she has late nights and secluded business meetings in dark parking garages. Could she be involved in some shady business dealings? 

Michonne is respectful and supportive of most people in town. She is a good person to have at your side.  She is a terrible person to double-cross for many reasons that must not be mentioned. 

   Suggested attire: a Christmas suit or ugly Christmas sweater. 

​

Pharmaceutical Chemist

Walter is Jon Sleet's uncle. It's rumored that Jon has loaned Uncle Walt a ton of cash in the past. However, this Ivy League grad hasn't paid a penny back to date. Does Walter feel threatened that Jon's corporate conglomerate is acquiring Rolling Pharmaceuticals?  For all Walter knows, Jon could garner his paychecks until all debts are paid off.

JUNE OSBOURNE

Book Editor, Fangtooth Press

Outspoken, rebellious, and loved by her friends and family, she is a dedicated book editor for Fangtooth Press. June isn’t happy at work due to intolerant and inflexible executives at the publishing company. June has been secretly meeting with the board of directors to oust the dictators in charge. June is the boss of her copy editor, Dolores Abernethian, and the two women have had their differences. June and Dolores both work from home after one too many office spats. This has made it more difficult to fight against the top executives. 

June and Dolores are currently working on publishing Jon Sleet's autobiography. Many people are upset that they would give Jon the time of day. Since both girls are receiving death threats, this has helped bring them together to work in harmony.

  Suggested attire: nerdy, Christmas–inspired attire, including the ugliest Christmas sweater, plaid skirt, and knee-high boots. You look like a librarian who has no clue about fashion.

​

Copyeditor, Fangtooth Press

A cattle rancher’s daughter, Dolores Abernethian, works for June Osbourne as a copyeditor at Fangtooth Press. She and June work together against the publishing house's authoritarian top executives. They are fed up with poor working conditions—long, mostly unpaid hours, freezing temperatures inside, and no breaks.

Even though Dolores and her boss, June Osbourne, have undergone recent spats at the office, they are currently working on Jon Sleet's autobiography. Jon isn't the most popular person around and has many foes, but most are involved with business dealings, and some are personal.  Since both girls are receiving death threats, this has helped bring them together to work in harmony.

  Suggested attire: nerdy, Christmas–inspired attire, including the ugliest Christmas sweater, plaid skirt, and knee-high boots. You look like a librarian who has no clue about fashion.

The wealthy Sleet family adopted Danny Targaron after living in an orphanage between the ages of four and ten. Jon and Danny have been estranged since entering adulthood, and Jon has spread nasty rumors about Danny in shared social circles.  Danny believes that the Sleet patriarch might have adopted Danny out of guilt - did Mr. Sleet have something to do with Danny's father's death? Nobody will ever know the answer to that question. There are too many powerful people with too much to lose for the truth to come out.
